Test Details
Deoxycorticosterone (DOC) is a hormone that is produced by the adrenal glands. It plays a role in regulating blood pressure and electrolyte balance in the body.
A deoxycorticosterone (DOC) test is a blood test that measures the levels of DOC in the blood. It is typically ordered to evaluate adrenal gland function and to diagnose or monitor conditions such as adrenal insufficiency, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and certain types of hypertension.
To perform the test, a healthcare provider will draw a blood sample from a vein, usually in the arm. The sample will then be sent to a laboratory for analysis. The results of the test will be interpreted by a healthcare provider to determine if the DOC levels are within the normal range or if further testing or treatment is necessary.
It is important to note that the deoxycorticosterone test is not a routine screening test and is usually only ordered if there is a suspicion of an adrenal gland disorder or hypertension that may be related to DOC levels. The test is not typically used to diagnose or monitor other conditions.
